But I love our chances to win this Saturday. Ole Miss is facing a significant ramp up in competition from what they've faced so far this season while we're already battle tested against two teams significantly better than anybody Ole Miss has played.
And getting into the actually matchups, I love the way our defense matches up against their offense. They sneakily love to run the ball. We are elite in run defense. They are averaging 248 rushing yards per game. We only allow 75 rushing yards per game. Something has to give there. And when they throw the ball, they have a clear WR1 and then a significant drop-off. Tre Harris has 38 catches for 628 yards. The next two receivers behind him only have a combined 28 catches for 530 yards. We counter their clear WR1 with one of the best lockdown corners in the country.
If our run D holds them under 150 rushing yards and Maxwell Hairston holds Harris under 75 receiving yards, which is very doable, we will win this game.
